It was on a glacial February morning when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Vestiges of spring were nascent in the chilly air as hundreds of coral and pearl dots adorned countless bare branches that lined the quiet streets. Nobody knew how long it was since the last leaf of autumn fell, nor were they cognizant of the time that had soundlessly fled by since the final specks of snow melted upon landing on the asphalt pavements.
A frosty breeze whisked past the trees in the blink of an eye. While they trembled in the early hours of a new day, dainty petals drifted away, dancing in the clement cerulean sky to the symphony composed by flocks of soaring songbirds that chirped upon the arrival of a new season. With the balmy sunlight that basked the cold land in rays of warmth, seeping through the trees to nourish fauna and flora alike, life stealthily returned to nature that had sunk into a deep slumber.
It was truly an ethereal sight to behold, yet nobody was there to admire or appreciate it. People continued with their daily activities, just as how life moved on. Albeit perturbed by how unobservant the locals were of their surroundings, there was nothing we could do. Enjoying while the moment lasted, photos were taken; moments were captured, and laments were mourned to bid this transient scenery farewell.
In these flowers, I witnessed the brevity of beauty.
How glorious they bloomed, how desolate they wilted.
